Letter: Quality of construction is the main issue
Thursday, Nov. 10, 2005 | 8:07 a.m.
Regarding the Las Vegas Sun's Nov. 7 story, "Building toward a solution":
I find it interesting that the very people who pushed for the "Right to Repair" law are now complaining that it doesn't work for them because it means that instead of repairing one or two homes in a tract they would have to repair all the defective homes they've built in that tract. I hope our state legislators are listening.
The only way to stop construction defect lawsuits in Nevada is to actually have the builders build a quality product, free of defects. If the contractors who repeatedly build a poor product would spend the time and money on the homes they've built, instead of trying to change the laws in their favor, we would all be much better off.
